The District has one resale customer, Raleigh County Public Service District. Commission Staff has reviewed the application of the District and recommended that the Commission approve a rate increase allowing the District to recover increased costs of purchased water it pays to the Beckley Water Company. By Order issued February 27, 2015, the Commission approved the Staff-recommended rates on an interim basis, and subject to refund, that increased rates by $0.23 per thousand gallons metered water service.

Consequently, protest should be limited to the reasonableness of the cost offset and the method by which it is calculated. Anyone desiring to protest or intervene should file a written protest or notice of intervention within twenty (20) days of following the date of this publication unless otherwise modified by Commission order. Failure to timely intervene can affect your rights to protest any rate increases and to participate in future proceedings. Requests to intervene must comply with the Commission rules on intervention.
